I used to have a marine set up which I maintained from 2000 to 2005. However, my set up was with few fishes , anemones and dead coral/rocks as decor. I gave up due to various factors, high water temperature during summer was one of the most vital reasons.

I would like to get some knowlege from you, hope you will share with us.

1. What is the light requirment for these marine algae/Caulerpa.
2. Do you provide any nutrients?
3. Do I need to install a chiller to maintain these green beauties, up to what temperature?
4. What is the source to obtain these. I tried for marine caulerpa but unable to source any in Kolkata.

Trust me caulerpa is more of a nuisance than a desirable species.I am talking from experience here.It will grow faster than other inverts like anemones and corals,choke them and may also release harmful substances into the water to outcompete other invertebrates.

Even in the pic posted here you can see the caulerpa surrounding the corals and trying to choke them.(That might be my take on the pic.. not sure if others think the same)

So it is recommended to grow caulerpa in a separate refugium if you want them for nutrient removal and nitrate reduction...

BTW,I know this is not the thread to discuss caulerpa but thought i would just add my thoughts.. Any more questions about growing caulerpa can be put forth in a new thread specifically dedicated to the topic

Thank you for providing us an opportunity to showcase our products. Arrangements for the commercial display were well catered too:clap:.

The firm is over two years old, but we have never marketed or showcased our products, all sales have always been through references & appreciations. Our goal was to deliver quality & that is why we have not officially announced our existence. There could have been no better platform to announce our presence & showcase our products than AQUATIKA itself. Though, at such a short notice we were not completely prepared for this event, but we tried to exhibit our best. We hope to add more to our existing range of products in near future.

The response was indeed good. Hope I was able to answer the queries from hobbyists & commercial folks to their satisfaction.

For the benefit of hobbyist who could not make it Aquatika 2007 - I look forward for being able to work out something - I'll have a separate thread for the same.

Once again on behalf of my firm,AQUA BAY - I sincerely thank you, RR Sriram, Beta, Venkat, Madan & to all involved for providing us the platform to showcase our products & the members for the fabulous response.

Â Congratulations! on the sucess of Aquatika 2007.I would also like to thank you all for having given AquaMechanics such a wonderful platform to showcase our products in. It was a great experience to have met fellow hobbyist in person.
Â A special Thank you to Ravi and Madan for all the support given to us, we really appreciate this a lot.
